John adds the meteor using the big bolide particle speckle brush as well as the spring fireball brush. He also shows you how to utilize the shape attributes to align to path the brushes so they automatically draw with a straight line. John also adds hue, saturation, and color to the firery meteors rushing the planet.
- [Voiceover] Our quiet little town looks so serene.…We're about to add our key dramatic element,…an incoming bolide meteor.…This is where the unique characteristics of the particle and…dynamic speckle brushes come into play.…Using these brushes we can really provide a sense of…the high energy associated with these fast moving objects,…especially when they are about to splash into the earth…and our little community down on the ground.…Okay so here we are, and we're gonna add this meteor…Let's take a look,…the brush we're going to be using here…is this big bolide.…
Which the word bolide, by the way, it's a…astronomical term for a very large fiery meteor.…So we want to be able to draw…our large meteor with that.…Let me just show you a little bit about this…before we get started.…I'm gonna make a temporary here layer to work on,…and let's get a color here.…Let's just,…okay.…That's kinda big right now.…So I'm gonna make this a little smaller.…And this is actually working pretty good but…I wanna show you how you can control this…

4/11/2016You will learn what particles look like and how they are generated, and how to use the brush controls, Opacity slider, Shape attributes, and Color Variability and blending palette to influence the appearance of your brushstrokes. John demonstrates all these concepts using a nondestructive, layer-based workflow and a sci-fi-inspired painting of the night sky, featuring the Milky Way.
